Athens intro.Not to be confused with its counterpart in Greece, the Alabama city of Athens is fairly small by city standards but there is a good choice of accommodation and activities in the area. Athens hotels found on Washington Street offer good value for money and they provide basic amenities and facilities that one needs during a stay. There are also a few decent restaurants around this street and they vary in their cuisines from Mexican and American dining to Chinese and Italian. Some hotels in Athens boast their own restaurants as well as room service but the majority focus on providing a good service with adequate facilities. There is a small congregation of hotels in Athens that are located on Highway 72 that leads into the centre of the city and these are the cheapest accommodation options here. There are no five-star Athens hotels but the accommodation is generally good and locals make your stay even more pleasurable.
